h that they did not wait for Va.; and he vindicated them from the charge of rash precipitancy. It was common to say that Va. had more interest in question of slavery than the Cotton States. He took issue on this question, and went on to argue that our interest was not comparable to theirs. Territorial expansion was with them a necessity, and their position on the Gulf rendered them more open to aggression than the position of the Border States.--Delaware was only nominally a slave State; Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, would soon be free States; while to the South, slavery was the vital element. The hope of a reconstruction of the Union, through any amendments to the Constitution, he considered utterly futile. Those men who had been sleeping on the sand-banks at Charleston, hourly expecting a terrible collision with the Federal troops, could never be brought back, except through a bloody revolution at home or subjugation by a foreign power. They were able to sustain themselves,

s marching on to desolate our provinces — he would have Virginia turn from it with indignation, and remember that the true colors of the country were the spirit and the principles which animated our fathers to resist tyranny and repel aggression. As Mr. Holcombe uttered the closing sentence (the eloquent language of which we but faintly portray,) there was a spontaneous outburst of applause, and the Chairman promptly gave the order for clearing the lobby and gallery. Mr. Ambler, of Louisa, appealed to the Chair to withdraw the order. Mr. Sheffey, of Smythe, said there was as much applause on the floor of the Convention as any where else. The Chairman said he had indicated his course yesterday, and had given ample caution in regard to these disturbances. He was satisfied that there was some applause on the floor of the Convention; but the members had adopted rules for their own government, and he had no right to go beyond those rules. It was his duty, however, to e

of the general questions of the slave trade, he alluded to the argument advanced by the Union men, that a large standing army would be necessary to protect our border. He thought this phantom would vanish after they had carefully investigated the subject. The large standing armies of Europe were maintained because the people had not the control of their own destinies, and to prevent them from getting the reins of government; to keep them in fear and subjection. This country had a great Canadian border, dividing us from a great military power, and there was no necessity for a standing army there; the people on this side slept in entire security. He did not believe there was any reason to apprehend an invasion of our border; if it should be, the patriotic people of Western Virginia would meet the invaders with a force that would strike terror to their hearts. An invading army might approach by railroad to the very verge of the border, but when they crossed, an obstruction, placed

Chairman said he was aware of that, and proposed to reply. Mr. Morton disclaimed any intention to reflect upon the action of the Chair. Mr. Baldwin, of Augusta, said it was his fortune to follow the eloquent gentleman from Albemarle, and he thought this fact furnished a guarantee that there would be no more demonstrationr trust; to register a vow in Heaven to lift up this bleeding country and set her free. Mr. Randolph, of Richmond.--As it is apparent that the gentleman from Augusta would prefer to suspend his remarks until tomorrow, I move that the Committee rise. Mr. Carlile, of Harrison.--I hope the gentleman will withdraw that motion for a few moments, and I will renew it. The gentleman from Augusta will of course retain the floor. I desire to offer a substitute for the whole report of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Randolph withdrew the motion, and Mr. Carlile offered the following substitute, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole:

as much applause on the floor of the Convention as any where else. The Chairman said he had indicated his course yesterday, and had given ample caution in regard to these disturbances. He was satisfied that there was some applause on the floor of the Convention; but the members had adopted rules for their own government, and he had no right to go beyond those rules. It was his duty, however, to enforce order among the outsiders, and this he was determined to do. Mr. Flournoy, of Halifax, said he had his eye on the gallery when the demonstration was made, and he was satisfied that the spectators there had strictly obeyed the injunction of the Chair. Whatever applause there was, proceeded from the floor. [A voice in the lobby--"Good."] He thought the spectators ought not to be made to suffer for a disturbance made on the floor, in which they did not participate. Mr. Morton, of Orange, said there was nothing so desirable in the discussion of this great question, as the

In all territory which may hereafter be acquired by the United States, involuntary servitude is prohibited, except for crime, north of the latitude of 36 degrees 30 minutes; but shall not be prohibited by Congress or any Territorial Legislature south of said line. Voice of the people. Mr. Marye, of Spotsylvania, presented a series of resolutions adopted by a portion of the citizens of that county, in favor of the secession of Virginia. Referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Equality of Taxation. The President said the pending question, at the adjournment yesterday, was on the motion of Mr. Goode, of Mecklenburg, to lay on the table the resolutions offered on Monday last, by Mr. Willey, of Monongalia.

An invading army might approach by railroad to the very verge of the border, but when they crossed, an obstruction, placed upon the track by a patriotic hand, would throw car loads of soldiers into eternity.--They could only advance by the slow progression of other days; and the electric fire of the telegraph would communicate the news of their approach, and a mighty host would be prepared for resistance.

Mr. Slaughter, of Lynchburg, appealed to Mr. Goode to withdraw his motion, in order that he might make an appeal to the Western members to postpone the discussion of the question until the Convention meets in the fall. Mr. Goode consented to withdraw the motion. He had no desire to cut off debate, but considered the present a most inopportune time for the discussion of the question. It was like a firebrand thrown in here, to inflame excitement, and distract the counsels of the Convention. Mr. Slaughter th
